1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Debris dams have a crucial role in consolidation of river basins and allow erosion control, flood protection in mountainous areas. Many of these infrastructures have operated over five decades, thus structural health monitoring (SHM) of these infrastructures became timely due to their aging. Utilizing new techniques is required for inspecting a large number of dams and deciding about their reinforcement or reconstruction. In this work, we propose cosmic-ray muography as a complementary tool for the SHM of debris dams. We conducted the first muographic surveying of a sabo check dam in the Karasu River, Gunma, Japan. The average mass density image was produced with a spatial resolution of 0.5 m through the dam. The comparison of density data reconstructed by muography and gamma-ray logging suggest the internal deterioration of dam in the region where cement released out from the embankment body.
